Sorry guys. Not on the truck. Work has been calling for 10-12hr days 6-7 days a week and Ive been working on other projects at the same time. I do a lot of other work for other guys to the point where I dont get to spend a lot of time on my own projects. Now that the cold has set in and its in the 20s here, fresh paint cant/wont work.
I just bought a new welder for other projects coming up also. But sit tight and i promise to get it on soon. Im also still working on this center console with a floor shifter.

Here are some pics of it installed. I finally got a chance to spend some more time on it. I had repainted it bright yellow but quickly changed my mind. 
These were taken at night so i wll get some more and better later today if it isnt raining.

1/2" SS bar at 1/8" think covered with heat shrink tubing (I got several feet of it). I pre-bent it around another piece of 3", drilled a hole, used a short nut/bolt/washer setup to fasten the two ends together. The bottom is mounted to the piece coming off the pass side battery tray.

Nice work not sure worth the extra $$$$ you put out for LOOKS but hey it does make a nice looking piece. Are you using Long Sweep 90s to help with the Air Flow?
Also curious why everyone uses Black on a Cold Air Intake when Black is known to absorb heat more so than White or Silver. Even under hood heat. Seems to me a true CAI would be wrapped in some kind of insulation to protect from outside heat sources. Just my thoughts on the subject. Weed great work.

The insulation would work well, this is one reason they claim a higher HP gain with the abs CAIs instead of metal
